I am on the fence on weather to install a 2720 or 2820 with the factory mount. The 2720's can be had pretty cheap right now and I have the mount but have not opened it yet. My only concirn is having to drill into the console. I was going to do it this weekend. Anybody have an idea how much the console would would cost to replace--part only?

The aluminum cover is only about $80 your cost. I bought one myself back in January.

When you get the console off, I seem to remember that the underside is marked so you know where to drill for the mounting bracket.

Ken is right the underside of the console is marked, the project is very simple to complete.

Yup there is markings that clearly show you where to drill so no worries. Very easy to mount.

I don't know if the instructions have been changed, but they weren't clear back in '08. See my thread here:
http://www.vision-riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=338&post...

It's the first post on the Tech Reference forum and it says:

GPS Mount Kit -

Item 9 - The diagram (fig 4) shows removal of the bottom piece after removing the ignition switch bezel. The instructions do not tell you to remove the screws or to remove the black plastic bottom piece. You have to remove this piece to find the holes marked "GPS" for step 10.

Item 13 - The 7-position mini-connector on the right side, toward the front of the bike, is covered with a disposable black plastic bulb-shaped cover. The instructions do not tell you this.
